Bank supervision - capital adequacy.

For capital adequacy calculation purposes, a bank's trading book includes any instruments which are held for any one or more of:

  • Short term resale.
  • Profiting from short term price movements.
  • Locking in arbitrage profits.
  • Hedging risks arising from any of these activities.


The trading book is distinguished from the banking book.

The banking book includes all instruments which are not in the trading book.
